The interface for guild exp speaks only of daily exp caps, but some guilds are reporting seeing messages about reaching weekly caps. Anyone have a URL to a resource that explains guild exp as it stand in detail? All I can find is old info filled with speculation. Thanks!

Ummm, a daily cap is a weekly cap, since days are smaller units of which weeks are created from.

Yes, but I am hearing that Guild Achieves can get you beyond the daily cap.

this might be a lazy question but i was curious about the rep given for quest turn in and such. created a lvl 1 worgen rogue and im getting 1 or 2 rep for a quest turn in for my guild. this seems low to me. does it get better? and are their other ways to earn rep for your guild other then questing?

So people are somehow (trying to) jobbing the system and then complaining that there is still a hurdle in the way?

I read there was a weekly cap, not a daily cap and yes I also read that you can hit your weekly cap and then turn in Guild achievements to increase your total weekly rep... in the article/post I read, the auther seeemed to be suggesting this as the optimal way of gaining guild XP.


How it works in practice - I have no clue.


In my mind a daily cap would be a lot tougher to acheive from a guild perspective as there is a higher probability that you will not always max your daily rep but on some days will have a surplus which wouldn't contribute on a given day but would if the rep is spread over a weekly period - I am sure Arc knows this and is just being

There appears to be a weekly reputation cap for individual characters in addition to the daily cap for guild experience. I have been rotating through alts so I have not hit it however many people in my guild have.

"So people are somehow (trying to) jobbing the system and then complaining that there is still a hurdle in the way?"

No - It was intended as two streams of guild experience: One from doing quests, levelling, instances etc this is capped per day and is potentially infinite without the cap (well being awake etc puts some real world interaction cap) The second stream was for completing the achievements - This was finite (ie there are only so many achievements and once done cannot be repeated) and was not capped per day.

Now Blizzard is apparently surprised that people put effort into the achievement stream and are trying to level their guilds faster and removed this system so there is only the daily capped guild xp. Personally I think this takes some of the fun and involvement away from the guild levelling system. Putting down 5000 feasts to level your guild gets wide support from within the guild. Placing 5000 feasts so we can say we placed 5000 feasts - look there on the armoury, it says so... does not get much support from within the guild.

Now that Achievements won't give Xp, it's going to take something like 4 months to get Guild Rank 25. As for Rep, it seems you can only get ~2600 rep per week. It will take 15 weeks to get Exalted.

I got 3500 rep last night before hitting cap.

They need to raise guild level exp cap or something, now that I see what the OP is saying based on first hand experience.

Between two guildies we hit cap for the day(week?) in the first hour or so, which was 40% into rank 0.

I'd like to see screen shots of these messages before buying this. If there are daily caps then, by definition, there should be no way they could have reached a "weekly cap" already since the xpac just went live yesterday. Unless of course they've figured out an exploit. If that's the case I expect a hot fix soon to take care of it, in which case it won't matter either way.
